Campaigns Call Temporary Ceasefire?
Obama, Clinton, I got this idea, let me know what you think: ceasefire for just like a week. Ok? Look, this thing has been dragging on longer than any of us thought. I gotta say, I'm a little tired. I've been following all this pretty closely, and have to admit I'm way into it. It does make for some high stakes drama. It's 3am and the Candians are leaking my tax returns to Farrakhan so Ferraro will evict me from my Rezko financed home but it's ok because my pastor thinks I've crossed the "luck" threshold and now qualify to be VP of the Significant States of America. I mean damn.
You two must be exhausted too. So, take a rest. Lets all meet back here at say 9am EST on Monday, March 24th. In the mean time, no speeches, no conference calls, no TV appearances, no emails, no surrogates, and please no debates. We all need some down time. Do whatever it is you do when you aren't campaigning. I mean, go vote on a bill or something. Eat dinner at home. Watch TV .... no no, not cable news ... something mind-numbing ... ok point taken, something mind-numbing other than cable news ... no I wasn't including you Tucker, you certainly are conservative, hip, and provacative, no ordinary feat.
As for us, we need a brake too. No offense, but it's gotten to the point where it's pretty easy to predict the tenor of most posts just from the title of the headline. About 7% are pro-Obama, 60% are anti-Hillary, 20% are anti-Obama, 3% are pro-Hillary, and 10% are incomprehensible. Spicoli's no exception, he tends to waffle between the first two categories (with an occasional foray into the fifth), and might find himself in the second category more often than he likes to admit. So lets all take the week to work on some new material and then reconvene. I'm sure we all have friends, families, and jobs that would like to hear from us.
Smoke em if you got em.
If you think whatever I wrote above is vaguely decent, or not, please hit recommend.

All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

Dude, that's classic stuff. It would be so super (delegate) if they would take some time off. Maybe go to a (toga) party(isan). It's almost Spring, maybe go trim the Bushes or plant some (Gennifer) Flowers.

Sorry for the double post folks. Wish I could pull this down. Still haven't gotten the hang of the TPM login. It doesn't like my Mac any, my work PC fares a little better. Anyone else having Mac problems?
